Making Data from Satellites or Aerial Imagery

Due: 2/24

What

Complete either tutorial 5 or 6, and complete the corresponding assignment:

Tutorial 5: Making Data from Satellites:Links to an external site.

Create a map using Landsat Satellite imagery that shows land use change over time. Download two (or more!) images captured by the Landsat 8 satellite of the same location on different dates, import them into QGIS and symbolize with a false color composite that helps to highlight a change in the landscape that is visible in your chosen location.

Your final work must be a designed map composition (gifs are okay here too) Your designed map composition must include: title legend scale bar north arrow (your map doesn't need to have north pointing vertically...) citations for all data sources (please use Chicago style or an equivalent) projection used

Upload to Canvas and Miro:

• Your map/maps/gif

Tutorial 6: Making Data from Aerial Imagery:Links to an external site.

• The layout you designed
• The csv file you used and
• A screenshot of the directory on your computer where you have saved your downloaded images
